Research

Much of my research investigates why groups and nations in long-standing conflicts either resolve them through negotiation or fail to do so. I often use comparative case studies and qualitative, inductive methods to analyze motives for war and peacemaking. My current research investigates how "reconciliation oriented" political leaders can contribute to peacemaking in post-conflict societies.
